- Transmission frame 
Frame format 
STX Station No. Command Parameter BCC  CR 
 
 Description Data size Setting 
STX  Control code (Start of TeXt)  1 byte  STX (0x02) 
Station No. 
Station number of control-target 
inverter 
2 bytes  01 to 32 
Command  Command to be transmitted  2 bytes  06 
Parameter  Data parameter number  4 bytes  See Note 12. 
BCC  Block check code  2 bytes 
XOR of the items from "Station No." to "Data." 
See Item (3) of this section. 
CR  Control code (Carriage Return)  1 byte  CR (0x0D) 
Note 12:  The parameters that can be specified for reading are F002 to F004, A001 to A153, b001 to b132, 
C001 to C159, H003 to H073, and P001 to P131. (To read the F001 parameter, use the 01 
command.)

ACK  Control code (acknowledgement) 1 byte  ACK (0x06) 
Data 
Data to be sent (decimal ASCII 
code) 
8 bytes  See Note 13. 
BCC  Block check code  2 bytes 
XOR of the items from "Station No." to "Data."

CR  Control code (Carriage Return)  1 byte  CR (0x0D) 
Note 13:   When the read parameter is an selection item, the Data part contains the code data 
corresponding to the selection. 
  The code data corresponding to "H003" or "H203" (motor capacity selection) is as follows: 
Code data  00  01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 
Motor capacity  0.2 kW  - 0.4 - 0.75 - 1.5 2.2 - 3.7 - 
Code data  11  12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 
Motor capacity  5.5 kW 7.5 11 15 18.5 22 30 37 45 55 75 
Code data  22 23 24 25 26  
Motor capacity  90kW 110 132 150 160  
For the value contained in the Data part when the read parameter is a numerical item, see the list of 
function codes. 
(Example) When the setting of the acceleration (1) time (F002) is 30.00 seconds, the Data part contains 
"3000". 
Negative response: See Item (2)-(ii) of this section.
